FEBRUARY 11, 2020 RYAN MORGAN Georgia health officials are now monitoring around 200 of the state’s residents amid concerns of possible cases of the Wuhan coronavirus, which has spread throughout China.
In a statement to American Military News, the Georgia Department of Public Health seeked to relieve any public alarm by clarifying the status of the Georgians;
‘Under the supervision of the Georgia Department of Public Health (DPH), about 200 individuals who have recently returned from China are self-monitoring for symptoms of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus). These travelers arrived in the U.S. from mainland China outside Hubei Province with no known high-risk exposure. These individuals are asymptomatic (no symptoms) and are self-isolating at home.’
Update: This report has been updated to include a statement from the Georgia Department of Public Health to clarify the situation about the 200 Georgians who are ‘self-isolating.’:tiphat:
